Editing form items

To edit the properties of form items, tap/click the component and edit all or a subset of the following properties in the Settings tab.

Field Label:The name of the metadata property that is displayed on the properties page for the asset.

Map to Property: This property specifies the relative path of the node in the CRX repository where it is saved. It starts with "./", which indicates that the path is under the folder's node.

The following are the valid values for this property:

./jcr:content/metadata/dc:title: Stores the value at the folder's metadata node as the property dc:title.

./jcr:created: Displays the JCR property at the folder's node. If you configure these properties in CRXDE, Adobe recommends that you mark them as Disable Edit, because these are protected. Otherwise, the error 'Asset(s) failed to modify' is generated when you save the asset's properties.

To ensure that the component is displayed properly in the metadata schema form, do not include a space in the property path.

JSON Path:Use it to specify the path of the JSON file where you specify key-value pairs for options.

Placeholder: Use this property to specify relevant placeholder text regarding the metadata property.

Choices: Use this property to specify choices in a list.

Description: Use this property to add a short description for the metadata component.

Class: Object class the property is associated with.

Assign a folder metadata schema

You can assign a folder metadata schema to a folder either from the Folder Metadata Schema Forms page or when creating a folder.

If you configure a metadata schema for a folder, the path to the schema form is stored in the folderMetadataSchema property of the folder node under ./jcr:content.

Assign to a schema from the Folder Metadata Schema page

From the Folder Metadata Schema Forms page, select the schema form you want to apply to a folder.

From the toolbar, tap/clickApply to Folder(s).
